Almost sounds like an electric superchar/tornado type thing but what the hell is that in the pic? Anybody ever see anything like this before?

BLOW ME, i wasnt flaming him! and to answer the question, it looks like a cut-away of the product, they show that so u can see the internals of the crap item. no one said anything to him directly about the product, we never "flamed" him

oh geez... did you read what i wrote? i said that you were just making stupid comments about it... not really "flaming" him... so i take it back...
whenever someone asks if it is worth it or not, we usually ramble on like that in a sense to imply that they are even stupid for asking... thats what i meant...

Ok, I dont care if someone flamed me, people have opinions and if they didnt read the whole thread, it's their problem. BUT SERIOUSLY, does anyone have any clue as to what this actually is/how is is theoretically supposed to work???

Q: How is this powered? Electrical or belt?
A: Neither, our product works independently from your engine, the unit is placed directly into your intake accelerating the airflow through out , allowing nearly full combustion and better fuel distribution. Giving you the boost you need. Depending on which stage you get, the more hp you need , the more power the unit will output

It comes with a money back guarantee. Riiiiight.
They just had a price increase.
Good English. And now they are calling it a supercharger. :| Customers can have the modification upgraded? :scratch
That auction should be reported. No one is entitled to commit fraud.

Superchargers had a slight modification,using better parts. Customers that have purchased the product at the old price will have the modification upgraded.

you know what, it comes with a money back garentee, if you really want to try it to see what its worth go for it... Dono why you would, but go ahead, if you dont like it, then return it. Simple as that.
Im a turbo guy myself tho, if the product was called "TURBO" instead of "SUPERCHARGER" i would already have it in my max!!

they only one of these "electric superchargers" that would even remotely work and respects the laws of physics is the $300 e-ram.....but even that thing is a joke....although on there website, there is a guy in the testimonial section that apparently has a '98 maxima that claimed the e-ram reduced his 0-60 times by 0.3 seconds (yeah right) and gained him about 10hp according to the horribly inaccurate gtec pro...
although one cool thing about it, that you don't get with the online ebay cheap superchargers is the guarantee....
they are saying they will refund your money ($300) plus half of the dyno fee (maximum of $50 reimbursement) if you don't show an average of a 4% gain from 3000 rpms to 6000rpms!
still wouldn't buy it though...lol
